Case occurred in the city of Jardinópolis, Ribeirão Preto region; suspect has disappeared
The father of a 4-year-old boy, whose face was disfigured after being attacked, says he cried when he heard his son’s story. The case took place in the city of Jardinópolis, in the region of Ribeirão Preto, in Sao Paulo.
The Civil Police are investigating the case as a physical injury and point to the child’s stepfather – whose identity has not been revealed – as the prime suspect in the attacks. It has not yet been identified to provide clarification on the incident.
“My son said (his stepfather) hit him with a slipper, with a rope, punched him, kicked him. Then I couldn’t stand him. I couldn’t stand it. I can stand it, “Vitor Manoel Zeferino, affiliate with TV Globo in Campinas (SP), told EPTV.
The assaults allegedly took place on Thursday night, 14. The 4-year-old boy and his 7-year-old older brother underwent forensic examination at the Legal Medical Institute (IML) on Friday 15. The Guardianship Council informed that the brothers are under custody of the respective parents.
The boys’ mother, Caroline de Menezes Lima, said she found the injured children when she returned home after work and that her partner was no longer on the scene.
“He hit the two kids a lot. He hit a lot with the wire, with the flip flops. He’s a monster. For me, he has to go to jail. He’s garbage. For me, he’s not a man,” said Vitor, who was went to the police station accompanied by his mother and sister, in charge of reporting the case to the police.
The aunt says the children are scared and cannot tell the reason for the attack. “They say they don’t know, they don’t say anything. He’s a child, they just keep quiet. They are afraid of what happened. They were beaten too much, they were hit with sandals and ballet flats in the face. The earth is over for us, for everyone, I just want justice, I want it in jail, ‘said Lilian Zeferino.
